GSSF Celebrates 25 Years

The Glock Sport Shooting Foundation is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. While I've never had the opportunity to attend one of their matches I hear that they are a lot of fun. In addition, GSSF is a CMP affiliated club which satisfies the club membership requirement when you go to buy a Garand or one of the 1911 pistols from the CMP.

GSSF is great fun! Just grab any Glock you have, or borrow one, and shoot.You don't even need a holster. 3 extra mags to shoot the plates makes it faster because you don't have to reload mags on the stage. It is BY FAR the cheapest way to shoot a competition.
